Posted Oct 26, 2008
Hakeem Nicks, North Carolina’s record-setting receiver, had three touchdown receptions. Not only did he catch three touchdowns, he ran in another on a reverse, to push the score to 45-17 after the extra point. Nicks indicated after the game that he had told his teammates he would have a career day, but his preparation had a little something to do with that. Even though he may had have had the “feeling,” and also a great week of preparation, Nicks is just a special athlete. (Inside Carolina)
